Have You Heard of the Four Spiritual Laws?

Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God. I taara jamana o jamana la, i na sariyaw sr yen minw ba to jamana denw b to nygn f bn ni hra la. O cogo kelen na, an ni Ala c tmn siraw b ye minw ba to an b se ka hra sr Ala f.

God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.

Ala be i KANU ani FEERE nyuman ba fe i ka nyenamaya ko la.

GODS LOVE

ALA KA KANUYA

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
GODS PLAN

Nka Ala ye an kanu cogo min na, a ye o jira nin de f, ka an jurumut to, Krisita sara an ye. (Romkaw 5:8)
ALA KA FERE

[Christ speaking] I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?

[Yesu ko:] Ne kni nana walisa ne ka sagaw ka nynamaya sr, o ka caya u la ka taa f. (Yuhana 10:10)
Nka mg caman ma nynamaya dn ni nyagali ni hra ye kamasr....

Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Thus, he cannot know and experience Gods love and plan for his life.

Adamaden ye JURUMU kela ye. O de koson a t se ka Ala ka kanuya Ni a ka fere nyuman don.

MAN IS SINFUL

ADAMADEN YE JURUMUKLA YE

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
GOD IS HOLY

Faranfasi si t mgw be ye jurumu k, u be dsra Ala nor la. (Romkaw 3:23)

ALA KA SENU

[God says:]"Be holy, because I am holy"' (1Peter 1:16)

Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

[Ala ko:] Aw ka k senumaw ye, katuguni ne ka senu. (1 Pire 1:16)

Ala ye mg da walisa a ka to jnygnya nyman la ale f. Nka mg ye a sagonan sira nynatm o la jnygnya nyuman min tun b ani a dabaa Ala c o tinyna. Bible b o de wele ko jurumu. Jurumu b b nin de la (1) ni mg b muruti Ala ma (2) ni a mago t Ala ko la (3) ni a ma se ka Ala ka dafalenya kun dama sr.

MAN IS SEPARATED

ADAMADEN NI ALA C FARALA.

The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion but he inevitably fails.

Jurumu sara ye saya ye... (Romkaw 6:23)

SENNUMA Nin ja b'a jira an na ko Ala ka snu, nka adamaden ye jurumukla ye. Furanc jan b u ni nygon c. Kalalisw b'a jira, cogomin Adama-den b'a nyini ka gr Ala la a yr ka ferw f: jogo nyumaya, Ala delili, Ala batoli ani kwale nyumanw. Nka o si t se k'a ni Ala c jnygnya tinynen tugu. Bda kelenpe min b nin ko la, tmn sira sabanan b'o jira an na.

Jesus Christ is Gods ONLY provision for mans sin. Through Him you can know and experience Gods love and plan for your life.

How will this be, Mary asked the angel, since I am a virgin? The angel answered, The Holy Spirit willl come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:34,35)

God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16 ).

It is not enough just to know these three laws

Nka nin tmn sira saba dnni ta b....

We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can know and experience Gods love and plan for our lives.
WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST

An ka kan ka SN Yesu Krisita ma i ko an kisibaa ni an Matigi. No kra an be se ka Ala ka kannuya ni a ka fere nyuman sidon an ka nynamaya ko la.
AN KA KAN KA SN YESU KRISTA MA

As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name (John 1:12)
WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH

O be na ta, minw snna a ma ka da a la, a ye fanga di olu be ma ka k Ala denw ye. (Yuhana 1:12)
AN B SN YESU KRISITA MA DANNAYA F

By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9).
WHEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST, WE EXPERIENCE A NEW BIRTH (Read John 3:1-8) WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH PERSONAL INVITATION

Aw kisilen b nema de barika la dannaya f, o ma b aw yrw la d, Ala ka nili fn don. O t kwalew n ye, walisa mg si kana a yr bonya. (Efesekew 2:8-9)
KA SON YESU MA O YE BANGE KO KURA YE ALA KA GWA KN. (YUHANA 3:1-8) AN KA KAN KA YESU WELE KA DON AN KA NYNAMAYA LA.

[Christ speaking] Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional expereince. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

[Yesu ko] Ne jlen fil da la ka da knkn. Ni mg d ye ne kan mn ka da yl ne ye, ne na don o yr ka dumuni k o f, a na dumuni k ne f. (Jirali 3:20)

The following is a suggested prayer: Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Saviour and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised. Did you receive Christ into your life? According to His promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now in relation to you? Christ said that He would come into your life. Would He mislead you? On what authority do you know that God has answered your prayer? (The trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.)

THE BIBLE PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE

BIBLE B NYNAMAYA BANBALI LAHIDU TA MGW YE MINW BE B SN YESU MA.

The witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life (1 John 5:1113).
Thank God often that Christ is in your life and that He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). You can know on the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that you have eternal life from the very moment you invite Him in. He will not deceive you.
An important reminder..

DO NOT DEPEND ON FEELINGS The promise of Gods Word, the Bible not our feelings is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word. This train diagram illustrates the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience). (Read John 14:21.)

God has said: I will never leave you; I will never forsake you. ( Hebrews 13:5) ???????????????????????
NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST The moment that you received Christ by faith, as an act of the will, many things happened, including the following: 1. Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:27) 2. Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14). 3. You became a child of God (John 1:12). 4. You received eternal life (John 5:24) 5. You began the great adventure for which God created you (John 10:10; 2 Corinthianns 5:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Can you think of anything more wonderful that could happen to you than receiving Christ? Would you like to thank God in prayer right now for what He has done for you? By thanking God, you demonstrate your faith.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN GROWTH Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. my righteous one will live by faith. (Hebrews 10:38) A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following: 1. Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7). 2. Read Gods Word daily (Acts 17:11); begin with the Gospel of John. 3. Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21). 4. Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8). 5. Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7). 6. Holy Spirit allow Him to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8). FELLOWSHIP IN A GOOD CHURCH Gods Word instructs us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). Several logs burn brightly together; but put one aside on the cold hearth and the fire goes out. So it is with your relationship with other Christians. If you do not belong to a church, do not wait to be invited. Take the initiative; call the pastor of a nearby church where Christ is honoured and His Word is preached. Start this week, and make plans to attend regularly.
